Terribly sorry about the outburst but I had to explain.
You see Xtreme has gone and broke his blog. According to blogspot, his issue is  "known" and they have been diligently trying to fix said problem for oh just short of two months now.
He's not updating in the blogroll..  He is posting away, like a freaking mad man, and yet.....we can't see him.
He's not taking this whole invisible thing well for a ragey sombeach...
Either way.. he is up and running and really not that much fun to be around right now..at least in person...hell he's currently amusing as hell one line...but don't tell him I told you that cause I will never live it down

With Christmas being only 19 days away and having not really done much in the way of shopping for presents, I figured it was perhaps a good time to actually ask my cub what he wanted, at the very least I would know what Santa wasn't going to be bringing this year.

I decided that it was high time he wrote a letter to Santa. Alright I confess, I would be writing it,while he dictated his list o'goodies. This is not to say that my cub cannot print, he can, let's face it people I just don't have that kind of time to spend on a letter to Santa.
I get out the paper and pen and figure at the very least I will write it down for him and then he could recopy the words.

"Mom, why are we writing the letter?"
"So Santa knows what you would like."
"Don't you have his email, can't we email him instead?"
"Sweetmotherofmary- you are not serious."
" Mom, Santa has to have an email we have to email it or he won't get it in time."
"Ok we will email it to him, now what do you want the email to say?"

Of course he started with the I have been a good boy this year, followed by his request for world peace and finished with requesting a large lottery win for Mom and Dad. What a sweetheart! He's a dream child...or am I dreaming??
Yup definitely dreaming...
In his defense he has yet to turn 6 and perhaps next years letter will contain at least one of those requests. Instead we managed to make a list of little boy wishes;
Lego, Lego, Lego,
A Scooter,
A DS...ooh a DS....
A slap chop,
Cars,
Colouring books,

"Wait just a minute....back up a few....did you say Slap Chop?"

"Oh yes Mom, ya know, if I had one of those I could chop up my own vegetables! Did you know that it also does strawberries, and if we get one now we can get two, then you could have one too."
"You really want a Slap Chop? For real?"
"Yes, and Lego!"

I am still at a loss for words- Whose kid asks for a Slap Chop for Christmas? Well besides mine! GAK..

"Hey X your cub insists we email Santa his letter- and by the way get this, he wants a SLAP CHOP!"
" He he...Wait til you see my nuts, did he say that, did he say that?"

I know what you're thinking ladies, hands off they are both mine.....*sigh*
